Netbook 10.10 flash won't boot

[med1972]

I've been trying to boot 10.10 on my new Acer D260 and my daughter's older 8.9" Acer. On both machines, I get a line or three at the start of the boot process

SYSLINUX 4.02 2010-07-21 ...

(truncated for brevity) and then nothing. I've tried re-writing the flash drive many times, tried downloading the ISO again. No joy. But other OS' work just fine (moblin, ...).

Any tips?

Check the downloaded image for defects.

If ok, try using unetbootin this time.
